The last couple of weeks saw Google bestowing tributes on a Russian filmmaker and a Mexican Diva. Today, I saw a Nigerian football icon grabbing this honor. Google Doodle, thank you! But I was surprised and disappointed to see that we conveniently forgot to acknowledge that today also happens to be the birthday of aContinue reading “The Curious Case of Netaji”

Netflix – My New IMAX
I love Cinema. Cinema is education and emancipation in the same terrain. Big screen cinema is what I live for. But in the last 18 months, I see it differently. You call it priorities or indulgence, big screen doesn’t woo me any more. Streaming is the new moolah in the streets of movie goons theseContinue reading “Netflix – My New IMAX”
Women of Steel
The year started off with perseverance and oozes of energy. The story goes like this. Well, it’s not a story to begin with. I must say this, it was an eye opener for mortals like us who just get waned away with dwindled pleasures. I met 2 women. Well, I can say they are wellContinue reading “Women of Steel”
Inevitable 2018, Hello!
2017 was a roller coaster year. Well, I can call it adventurous and tumultuous in the same breath. Yes, you might argue that these expressions don’t quite sit adjacent to each other. But at times, our derivatives stand flawed and undisputed. Strange are the ways of life, so was 2017. Indulgent, attractive, celebrated. Sometimes, weContinue reading “Inevitable 2018, Hello!”

Doesn’t matter how derogatory and pervert these words are, whether you like it or not, these words have a life of their own. And precariously, they live amongst civilians like us, living a nomadic journey of sleuth and ignominy.Continue reading “An Adulterated Life”
குரங்கு பொம்மை
When man becomes the animal. When friendship wins over cash.
মা আসছেন
The arrival of Maa, the supreme goddess of love and blessing. The epitome of goodness and nemesis of the evil.
Encounters with Water
It was humid, sweaty and hot. It led us to the place of perennial relief. Our ‘Massive Friendly Neighboring Beach’! It was dark but we could see the lights shoving up whine the earthly clouds. Clouds did not have enough water, but the sea did. Sunshine eluded us but we could walk on the sandContinue reading “Encounters with Water”
The Reluctant Princess
A woman who never wanted to be a princess. But desires and destiny intermingle in this story of love and struggle to survive.
9/11. Change-versary.
Yes. We changed. World changed. Everything else around changed. In fact, I have bleak memories of how this world looked before the apocalypse. Our outlook to America, our attitude towards terrorism (we now call it global post 9/11), our stand as global nations against one unified enemy. All this changed. And somewhere, it changed usContinue reading “9/11. Change-versary.”
